2# NAME
3#	sqlite_table 5
4# SUMMARY
5#	Postfix SQLite configuration
6# SYNOPSIS
7#	\fBpostmap -q "\fIstring\fB" sqlite:/etc/postfix/\fIfilename\fR
8#
9#	\fBpostmap -q - sqlite:/etc/postfix/\fIfilename\fB <\fIinputfile\fR
10# DESCRIPTION
11#	The Postfix mail system uses optional tables for address
12#	rewriting or mail routing. These tables are usually in
13#	\fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format.
14#
15#	Alternatively, lookup tables can be specified as SQLite databases.
16#	In order to use SQLite lookups, define an SQLite source as a lookup
17#	table in main.cf, for example:
18# .nf
19#	    alias_maps = sqlite:/etc/postfix/sqlite-aliases.cf
20# .fi
21#
22#	The file /etc/postfix/sqlite-aliases.cf has the same format as
23#	the Postfix main.cf file, and can specify the parameters
24#	described below.
25# LIST MEMBERSHIP
26# .ad
27# .fi
28#	When using SQL to store lists such as $mynetworks,
29#	$mydestination, $relay_domains, $local_recipient_maps,
30#	etc., it is important to understand that the table must
31#	store each list member as a separate key. The table lookup
32#	verifies the *existence* of the key. See "Postfix lists
33#	versus tables" in the DATABASE_README document for a
34#	discussion.
35#
36#	Do NOT create tables that return the full list of domains
37#	in $mydestination or $relay_domains etc., or IP addresses
38#	in $mynetworks.
39#
40#	DO create tables with each matching item as a key and with
41#	an arbitrary value. With SQL databases it is not uncommon to
42#	return the key itself or a constant value.
43# SQLITE PARAMETERS
44# .ad
45# .fi
46# .IP "\fBdbpath\fR"
47#	The SQLite database file location. Example:
48# .nf
49#	    dbpath = customer_database
50# .fi
51# .IP "\fBquery\fR"
52#	The SQL query template used to search the database, where \fB%s\fR
53#	is a substitute for the address Postfix is trying to resolve,
54#	e.g.
55# .nf
56#	    query = SELECT replacement FROM aliases WHERE mailbox = '%s'
57# .fi
58#
59#	This parameter supports the following '%' expansions:
60# .RS
61# .IP "\fB%%\fR"
62#	This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
63# .IP "\fB%s\fR"
64#	This is replaced by the input key.
65#	SQL quoting is used to make sure that the input key does not
66#	add unexpected metacharacters.
67# .IP "\fB%u\fR"
68#	When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%u\fR
69#	is replaced by the SQL quoted local part of the address.
70#	Otherwise, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the entire search string.
71#	If the localpart is empty, the query is suppressed and returns
72#	no results.
73# .IP "\fB%d\fR"
74#	When the input key is an address of the form user@domain, \fB%d\fR
75#	is replaced by the SQL quoted domain part of the address.
76#	Otherwise, the query is suppressed and returns no results.
77# .IP "\fB%[SUD]\fR"
78#	The upper-case equivalents of the above expansions behave in the
79#	\fBquery\fR parameter identically to their lower-case counter-parts.
80#	With the \fBresult_format\fR parameter (see below), they expand the
81#	input key rather than the result value.
82# .IP "\fB%[1-9]\fR"
83#	The patterns %1, %2, ... %9 are replaced by the corresponding
84#	most significant component of the input key's domain. If the
85#	input key is \fIuser@mail.example.com\fR, then %1 is \fBcom\fR,
86#	%2 is \fBexample\fR and %3 is \fBmail\fR. If the input key is
87#	unqualified or does not have enough domain components to satisfy
88#	all the specified patterns, the query is suppressed and returns
89#	no results.
90# .RE
91# .IP
92#	The \fBdomain\fR parameter described below limits the input
93#	keys to addresses in matching domains. When the \fBdomain\fR
94#	parameter is non-empty, SQL queries for unqualified addresses
95#	or addresses in non-matching domains are suppressed
96#	and return no results.
97#
98#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2. In prior releases
99#	the SQL query was built from the separate parameters:
100#	\fBselect_field\fR, \fBtable\fR, \fBwhere_field\fR and
101#	\fBadditional_conditions\fR. The mapping from the old parameters
102#	to the equivalent query is:
103#
104# .nf
105#	    SELECT [\fBselect_field\fR]
106#	    FROM [\fBtable\fR]
107#	    WHERE [\fBwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
108#	          [\fBadditional_conditions\fR]
109# .fi
110#
111#	The '%s' in the \fBWHERE\fR clause expands to the escaped search string.
112#	With Postfix 2.2 these legacy parameters are used if the \fBquery\fR
113#	parameter is not specified.
114#
115#	NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the query parameter.
116# .IP "\fBresult_format (default: \fB%s\fR)\fR"
117#	Format template applied to result attributes. Most commonly used
118#	to append (or prepend) text to the result. This parameter supports
119#	the following '%' expansions:
120# .RS
121# .IP "\fB%%\fR"
122#	This is replaced by a literal '%' character.
123# .IP "\fB%s\fR"
124#	This is replaced by the value of the result attribute. When
125#	result is empty it is skipped.
126# .IP "\fB%u\fR
127#	When the result attribute value is an address of the form
128#	user@domain, \fB%u\fR is replaced by the local part of the
129#	address. When the result has an empty localpart it is skipped.
130# .IP "\fB%d\fR"
131#	When a result attribute value is an address of the form
132#	user@domain, \fB%d\fR is replaced by the domain part of
133#	the attribute value. When the result is unqualified it
134#	is skipped.
135# .IP "\fB%[SUD1-9]\fR"
136#	The upper-case and decimal digit expansions interpolate
137#	the parts of the input key rather than the result. Their
138#	behavior is identical to that described with \fBquery\fR,
139#	and in fact because the input key is known in advance, queries
140#	whose key does not contain all the information specified in
141#	the result template are suppressed and return no results.
142# .RE
143# .IP
144#	For example, using "result_format = smtp:[%s]" allows one
145#	to use a mailHost attribute as the basis of a transport(5)
146#	table. After applying the result format, multiple values
147#	are concatenated as comma separated strings. The expansion_limit
148#	and parameter explained below allows one to restrict the number
149#	of values in the result, which is especially useful for maps that
150#	must return at most one value.
151#
152#	The default value \fB%s\fR specifies that each result value should
153#	be used as is.
154#
155#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
156#
157#	NOTE: DO NOT put quotes around the result format!
158# .IP "\fBdomain (default: no domain list)\fR"
159#	This is a list of domain names, paths to files, or "type:table"
160#	databases. When specified, only fully qualified search
161#	keys with a *non-empty* localpart and a matching domain
162#	are eligible for lookup: 'user' lookups, bare domain lookups
163#	and "@domain" lookups are not performed. This can significantly
164#	reduce the query load on the SQLite server.
165# .nf
166#	    domain = postfix.org, hash:/etc/postfix/searchdomains
167# .fi
168#
169#	It is best not to use SQL to store the domains eligible
170#	for SQL lookups.
171#
172#	This parameter is available with Postfix 2.2 and later.
173#
174#	NOTE: DO NOT define this parameter for local(8) aliases,
175#	because the input keys are always unqualified.
176# .IP "\fBexpansion_limit (default: 0)\fR"
177#	A limit on the total number of result elements returned
178#	(as a comma separated list) by a lookup against the map.
179#	A setting of zero disables the limit. Lookups fail with a
180#	temporary error if the limit is exceeded.  Setting the
181#	limit to 1 ensures that lookups do not return multiple
182#	values.
183# OBSOLETE MAIN.CF PARAMETERS
184# .ad
185# .fi
186#	For compatibility with other Postfix lookup tables, SQLite
187#	parameters can also be defined in main.cf.  In order to do that,
188#	specify as SQLite source a name that doesn't begin with a slash
189#	or a dot.  The SQLite parameters will then be accessible as the
190#	name you've given the source in its definition, an underscore,
191#	and the name of the parameter.	For example, if the map is
192#	specified as "sqlite:\fIsqlitename\fR", the parameter "query"
193#	would be defined in main.cf as "\fIsqlitename\fR_query".
194# OBSOLETE QUERY INTERFACE
195# .ad
196# .fi
197#	This section describes an interface that is deprecated as
198#	of Postfix 2.2. It is replaced by the more general \fBquery\fR
199#	interface described above.  If the \fBquery\fR parameter
200#	is defined, the legacy parameters described here ignored.
201#	Please migrate to the new interface as the legacy interface
202#	may be removed in a future release.
203#
204#	The following parameters can be used to fill in a
205#	SELECT template statement of the form:
206#
207# .nf
208#	    SELECT [\fBselect_field\fR]
209#	    FROM [\fBtable\fR]
210#	    WHERE [\fBwhere_field\fR] = '%s'
211#	          [\fBadditional_conditions\fR]
212# .fi
213#
214#	The specifier %s is replaced by the search string, and is
215#	escaped so if it contains single quotes or other odd characters,
216#	it will not cause a parse error, or worse, a security problem.
217# .IP "\fBselect_field\fR"
218#	The SQL "select" parameter. Example:
219# .nf
220#	    \fBselect_field\fR = forw_addr
221# .fi
222# .IP "\fBtable\fR"
223#	The SQL "select .. from" table name. Example:
224# .nf
225#	    \fBtable\fR = mxaliases
226# .fi
227# .IP "\fBwhere_field\fR
228#	The SQL "select .. where" parameter. Example:
229# .nf
230#	    \fBwhere_field\fR = alias
231# .fi
232# .IP "\fBadditional_conditions\fR
233#	Additional conditions to the SQL query. Example:
234# .nf
235#	    \fBadditional_conditions\fR = AND status = 'paid'
236# .fi
